ABSTRACT

An array of at least two commonly-branded absorbent articles, such as wipes products. The array includes a first wipes product and a second wipes product. Each wipes product may appeal to a different type of consumer, such as a light experience seeking consumer and a heavy experience seeking consumer. The first wipes product may include a first supply of wipes formed from a first substrate. The first supply of wipes is moistened with a first functional lotion composition including a first fragrance accord and a first lotion formula. The second wipes product may include a second supply of wipes formed from a second substrate. The second supply of wipes is moistened with a second functional lotion composition including a second fragrance accord and a second lotion formula. The second fragrance accord is different from the first fragrance accord, and the second lotion formula is different from the first lotion formula.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a continuation application of U.S. application Ser.No. 15/159,875, filed on May 20, 2016; which claims the benefit of U.S.Provisional Application No. 62/279,053 filed on Jan. 15, 2016; whichclaims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/181,791 filedon Jun. 19, 2015, which is incorporated herein by reference.

FIELD

The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles, and, moreparticularly, to absorbent articles including a functional lotioncomposition including various fragrance accords and lotion formulas.

BACKGROUND

Absorbent articles, such as wet wipes, may include fragrances. For someconsumers, the perception of efficacy of an absorbent article in termsof cleaning and the ability to maintain and/or improve skin health maybe affected by the scent or lack thereof of the absorbent article.Additionally, the scent of the absorbent article may affect the overallexperience for a consumer. Different consumers perceive fragrancedifferently. For example, some consumers perceive a scented wipe that isable to provide a scent over the scent of a soil such as urine or fecesas being able to clean well. This same type of consumer may alsoperceive a scented wipe that leaves a scent on the skin of a baby and/orthe consumer as being able to clean well. However, other consumers maynegatively perceive a wipe that leaves a long-lasting scent on the skinand/or a higher level of scent. This type of consumer may perceive awipe having a relatively low level of scent as being able to cleanbetter than a wipe having no scent.

Absorbent articles, such as wet wipes, may also include lotioncompositions. For some consumers, the perception of efficacy of anabsorbent article in terms of cleaning and the ability to maintainand/or improve skin health may be affected by the lotion compositionadded to the absorbent article or lack thereof. Additionally, the lotioncomposition present on the absorbent article may affect the overalldiaper changing experience for a consumer. Similar to the above,different consumers prefer different lotion compositions. For example,some consumers perceive an absorbent article with a lotion compositionthat has a lubricious and creamy-feel as being able to clean well and/oras being able to offer skin conditioning and/or to offer skinprotection. This same type of consumer may also perceive an absorbentarticle with a lotion composition that leaves a residue on the skin asbeing able to clean well. By contrast, other consumers may perceive anabsorbent article that leaves a residue on the skin of the baby and/orthe consumer negatively. This same type of consumer may perceive anabsorbent article having a lotion composition that is lightweight andwatery as being able to clean better than an absorbent article having alotion composition that is perceived to be creamy-feeling and lubricous.

Further to the above, it is believed that consumers who perceive anabsorbent article, such as a wipe, having a scent that may leave alingering scent on the skin as being able to clean well also prefer anabsorbent article, such as a wipe, that has a lotion composition that iscreamy-feeling and lubricious and that may leave a residue on the skin.It is also believed that consumers who perceive a wipe having arelatively low level of scent during use and little or no scent thatlingers on the skin as being able to clean better also prefer a lotioncomposition that is perceived as watery and lightweight. However,currently marketed wipes do not provide the aforementioned combinations.Thus, for example, consumers may only choose between absorbent articlesthat have a desired scent or a desired lotion composition.

Therefore, it would be beneficial to provide absorbent articles with avariety of fragrance compositions in combination with a variety oflotion compositions that meet the needs of various consumers.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following definitions may be useful in understanding the presentdisclosure:

“Soil” refers herein to matter that is extraneous to a surface beingcleaned. For example, soils include body exudates, household matter, andoutdoor matter. Body exudates include feces, menses, urine, vomitus,mucus, and the like. Household matter includes food, beverages,combinations thereof, and the like. Outdoor matter includes dirt, mud,snow, paint, crayons, and the like.

The term “disposable” is used herein to describe absorbent articleswhich generally are not intended to be laundered or otherwise restoredor reused as an absorbent article (e.g., they are intended to bediscarded after a single use and may also be configured to be recycled,composted or otherwise disposed of in an environmentally compatiblemanner).

“Array of absorbent articles” as used herein means a group of absorbentarticles that provide a consumer benefit. An array of absorbent articlesmay include two or more products, such as wipes, diapers, incontinenceproducts, and sanitary tissue products, that are simultaneouslyavailable for retail purchase. For example, a first wipe product and asecond wipe product may be offered at the same retail location forpurchase.

“Commonly-branded” as used herein means two or more absorbent articlesthat include the same brand name. A brand name is a word(s) and/orsymbol(s) that communicate a single source identifier. A brand nameidentifies an absorbent article and/or service as exclusively comingfrom a single commercial source, such as a company. For example, a wetwipe may be sold under the brand name PAMPERS, which is also atrademark. The absorbent articles of the present disclosure may bemarketed and/or packaged under a common brand name (i.e., the same brandname, such as PAMPERS).

“Commonly-sourced” as used herein means that two or more products aredistributed by or distributed on behalf of a common source. For example,a first wipe with the brand name LUVS and a second wipes product withthe brand name PAMPERS may be distributed by or distributed on behalf ofthe same company, such as The Procter & Gamble Company.

As used herein, percentages of the components of a lotion compositionare given as the ratio of the weight of the component to the totalweight of the lotion composition, unless otherwise indicated.Percentages reflect 100% active component material. For example, if acomponent is available in a dispersion at a concentration of 50%component to dispersion, by total weight, twice as much of thedispersion, by total weight, would be added to the lotion composition toprovide the equivalent of 100% active component.

“Fragrance accord” refers to a mixture of two or more fragrance rawmaterials. The mixture may be formed prior to being disposed on anabsorbent article, or two or more fragrance raw materials each may bedisposed on an absorbent article.

“Neat” refers to a fragrance accord that is free from extraneous matter.A neat fragrance accord comprises only perfume raw materials and isunencapsulated and/or unbound from other compounds that would cause adelay in the release of the perfume raw materials of the fragranceaccord.

“Perfume raw material” refers to a single individual chemical compoundthat is odiferous.

The present disclosure includes absorbent articles comprising fragranceaccords and functional lotion compositions. In particular, the presentdisclosure includes absorbent articles having different fragranceaccords and different functional lotion compositions to meet the needsof various types of consumers.

A consumer may have multiple scent experiences during use of anabsorbent article, such as a wipe. For example, one scent experience mayoccur as the consumer opens the package of wipes and removes a wipe fromthe package. Another scent experience may occur as the consumer cleans ababy's skin to remove soils. In addition, another scent experience mayoccur as a result of scent that lingers on the skin of the baby and/orthe consumer after cleaning the baby's skin.

Different consumers may prefer different potencies of scent during eachscent experience. For example, one type of consumer may prefer anoticeable amount of scent during each scent experience. Morespecifically, this same type of consumer may want enough scent presenton the absorbent article such that the scent is noticeable as theabsorbent article is removed from the package and such that the scentmay be perceived over the smell of a soil during the cleaning process.Further, this same type of consumer may want a lingering scent left onthe skin of the baby and/or the consumer after using the absorbentarticle.

Another type of consumer may want a less potent scent present on anabsorbent article than the type of consumer previously described. Forexample, this type of consumer may want just enough scent to bedetectable, without the scent being overwhelming, as the absorbentarticle is removed from the package. During the cleaning process, thistype of consumer may want to experience a noticeable amount of scentthat signals that the skin is clean and fresh, but again without thescent from the absorbent article overwhelming the experience. Thisconsumer may want little to no lingering scent left on the baby's and/orthe consumer's skin after use of the absorbent article.

Further to the above, the absorbent article, such as a wipe, may alsoprovide consumers with multiple tactile interactions. For example,consumers first feel the absorbent article as it is removed from apackage. Additionally, the consumers use the absorbent article to cleanthe skin by removing soils. Furthermore, consumers may perceive and/orfeel a residue on the skin after cleaning.

Different consumers may prefer different functional lotion compositions.For example, one type of consumer may prefer a noticeable amount oflotion during each tactile interaction. More specifically, this type ofconsumer may want enough lotion present on the absorbent article suchthat the lotion is noticeable as the absorbent article is removed fromthe package and such that the lotion provides a lubricious and/orcreamy-feel. This type of consumer may also want the lotion to have alingering effect on the skin of the baby and/or the consumer after usingthe absorbent article. For example, the absorbent article may provide anactual and/or a perceivable residue on the skin, much like amoisturizing cream.

Another type of consumer may prefer a different functional lotioncomposition to be present on an absorbent article than the type ofconsumer previously described. This type of consumer may want arelatively low amount of lotion present on the absorbent article so thatas the consumer removes the absorbent article from the package, theabsorbent article feels lightweight and watery. For example, this typeof consumer may want just enough lotion to be detectable. During thecleaning process, this type of consumer may want to experience anoticeable amount of lotion that signals that the skin is clean andfresh, but without the lotion from the absorbent article overwhelmingthe experience. Further, this type of consumer may want little to nolingering lotion left on the skin after use of the absorbent article.

Consumer research has suggested that consumers who prefer a morenoticeable, lingering scent also prefer a more lubricious,creamy-feeling lotion. This type of consumer may be referred to hereinas a heavy experience seeking consumer. Further, a consumer who prefersa lighter, less noticeable scent also prefers a lightweight, waterylotion. This type of consumer may be referred to herein as a lightexperience seeking consumer.

In order to meet the needs of these two distinct types of consumers, thepresent disclosure includes an array of absorbent articles, such aswipes, comprising a functional lotion composition including differentfragrance accords paired with different lotion formulas. The array ofabsorbent articles may include a first absorbent article having a firstfragrance accord and a first lotion formula, and a second absorbentarticle having a second fragrance accord and a second lotion formula.The first functional lotion composition may be different from the secondfunctional lotion composition. More specifically, first fragrance accordmay be different from the second fragrance accord, and/or the firstlotion formula may be different from the second lotion formula. Thearray of absorbent articles may be commonly-branded and/orcommonly-sourced.

The lotion compositions described herein are referred to as functionalbecause the lotion provides a certain type of experience for theconsumer. For example, a particular functional lotion composition mayprovide an experience of lubriciousness and/or cleanliness.

While the following disclosure discusses functional lotion compositionsincluding fragrance accords and lotion formulas in combination withwipes, it is to be appreciated that the functional lotion compositionsof the present disclosure may be used with various types of absorbentarticles, including diapers, wipes, tissues, feminine hygiene products,adult incontinence products, and cleaning articles.

Fragrance Accord

Absorbent articles of the present disclosure may include a functionallotion composition including a fragrance accord. The fragrance accordmay comprise a perfume raw material or a mixture of different perfumeraw materials. Perfume raw materials may be characterized by vaporpressure (VP) or Kovats Index (KI). As used herein, “vapor pressure”refers to an estimated vapor pressure provided by EPI Suite, version4.0, available from U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Perfume raw materials of the present disclosure may be classified as topnotes, middle notes, or base notes based upon the relative volatility ofa particular perfume raw material. Perfume raw materials having a vaporpressure of greater than 0.08 Torr at 25° C. or a Kovats Index of lessthan 1300 are classified as “top notes”. Perfume raw materials having avapor pressure between 0.006 Torr and 0.08 Torr at 25° C. or a KovatsIndex between 1300 and 1450 are classified as “middle notes”. Perfumeraw materials having a vapor pressure less than or equal to 0.006 Torrat 25° C. or a Kovats Index of greater than 1450 are classified as “basenotes”. Top notes are the most volatile and, therefore, provide aninitial “burst” of fragrance that dissipates relatively quickly. Middlenotes are less volatile than top notes and may be detected for a longerperiod of time than top notes. Base notes are the least volatile and maybe detected for the longest period of time.

In some exemplary configurations, in order to meet the needs of a lightexperience seeking consumer, an absorbent article may comprise afunctional lotion composition including a perfume accord comprising ahigher percentage of middle notes as compared with the percentages oftop and base notes. For example, an absorbent article may include afragrance accord comprising from about 10% to about 15%, by totalweight, of a perfume raw material having a vapor pressure of greaterthan 0.08 Torr at 25° C.; from about 35% to about 65%, by total weight,of a perfume raw material having a vapor pressure from 0.006 Torr at 25°C. to 0.08 Torr at 25° C.; and from about 20% to about 30%, by totalweight, of a perfume raw material having a vapor pressure of less than0.006 Torr at 25° C. In another example, an absorbent article mayinclude a fragrance accord comprising from about 10% to about 15%, bytotal weight, of a perfume raw material having a Kovats Index of lessthan 1300; from about 35% to about 65%, by total weight, of a perfumeraw material having a Kovats Index from 1300 to 1450; and from about 20%to about 30%, by total weight, of a perfume raw material having a KovatsIndex of greater than 1450. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it isbelieved that a perfume accord having a relatively greater proportion ofmiddle notes than top or base notes may provide light experience seekingconsumers with enough scent as the absorbent article is removed from thepackage and during use without being overwhelming while minimizing theamount of scent that will be left on the skin after use of the absorbentarticle.

In another exemplary configuration, in order to meet the needs of aheavy experience seeking consumer, an absorbent article may include afunctional lotion composition including a perfume accord comprising thehighest percentage of base notes and the lowest percentage of top notes.For example, an absorbent article may include a fragrance accordcomprising from about 10% to about 20%, by total weight, of a perfumeraw material having a vapor pressure of greater than 0.08 Torr at 25°C.; from about 20% to about 30%, by total weight, of a perfume rawmaterial having a vapor pressure from about 0.006 Torr at 25° C. to 0.08Torr at 25° C.; and from about 45% to about 70%, by total weight, of aperfume raw material having a vapor pressure of less than 0.006 Torr at25° C. In another example, an absorbent article may comprise from about10% to about 20%, by total weight, of a perfume raw material having aKovats Index of less than 1300; from about 20% to about 30%, by totalweight, of a perfume raw material having a Kovats Index from 1300 to1450; and from about 45% to about 70%, by total weight, of a perfume rawmaterial having a Kovats Index of greater than 1450. Without wishing tobe bound by theory, it is believed that a fragrance accord having thelowest percent of top notes, a higher percentage of middle notes, andthe highest percentage of base notes may provide heavy experienceseeking consumers with a relatively high amount of scent as theabsorbent article is removed from the package, a scent that may beperceived over the scent of the soil being removed, and a lingeringscent that remains on the skin after using the absorbent article.

The present disclosure may include an array of absorbent articles tomeet the needs of heavy experience seeking consumers and lightexperience seeking consumers. In some embodiments, the array ofabsorbent articles may include a first absorbent article having a firstfunctional lotion composition comprising a first fragrance accord. Thefirst fragrance accord may comprise from about 10% to about 15%, bytotal weight, of a perfume raw material having a vapor pressure ofgreater than 0.08 Torr at 25° C.; from about 35% to about 65%, by totalweight, of a perfume raw material having a vapor pressure from 0.006Torr at 25° C. to 0.08 Torr at 25° C.; and from about 20% to about 30%,by total weight, of a perfume raw material having a vapor pressure ofless than 0.006 Torr at 25° C. The array may comprise a second absorbentarticle having a second functional lotion composition comprising asecond fragrance accord. The second fragrance accord may comprise fromabout 10% to about 20%, by total weight, of a perfume raw materialhaving a vapor pressure of greater than 0.08 Torr at 25° C.; from about20% to about 30%, by total weight, of a perfume raw material having avapor pressure from 0.006 Torr at 25° C. to 0.08 Torr at 25° C.; andfrom about 45% to about 70%, by total weight, of a perfume raw materialhaving a vapor pressure of less than 0.006 Torr at 25° C.

In some exemplary embodiments, an array of absorbent articles mayinclude a first absorbent article having a first functional lotioncomposition including a first fragrance accord. The first fragranceaccord may comprise from about 10% to about 15%, by total weight, of aperfume raw material having a Kovats Index of less than 1300; from about35% to about 65%, by total weight, of a perfume raw material having aKovats Index from 1300 to 1450; and from about 20% to about 30%, bytotal weight, of a perfume raw material having a Kovats Index of greaterthan 1450. The array may include a second absorbent article having asecond functional lotion composition including a second fragranceaccord. The second fragrance accord may comprise from about 10% to about20%, by total weight, of a perfume raw material having a Kovats Index ofless than 1300; from about 20% to about 30%, by total weight, of aperfume raw material having a Kovats Index from 1300 to 1450; and fromabout 45% to about 70%, by total weight, of a perfume raw materialhaving a Kovats Index of greater than 1450.

Exemplary top note perfume raw materials of the present disclosureinclude Prenyl acetate, Dihydro Myrcenol, Ethyl acetate, cis-3-Hexenal,beta Pinene, Eucalyptol, Benzaldehyde, Phenyl acetaldehyde, Melonal,Orange Terpenes, and Amyl Propionate. It is to be appreciated thatvarious other top note perfume raw materials may be used in thefragrance accord of the present disclosure.

Exemplary middle note perfume raw materials of the present disclosureinclude Mayol, 4-tertiary Butyl Cyclohexyl Acetate, Patchone, Coumarin,Phenyl Ethyl Acetate, Terpinyl acetate, Cinnamic Alcohol, Nonalactone,Dimethyl Benzyl Carbinyl Acetate, Heliotropin, and Undecavertol. It isto be appreciated that various other middle note perfume raw materialsmay be used in the fragrance accord of the present disclosure.

Exemplary base note perfume raw materials of the present disclosureinclude Methyl Cedrylone, Eugenol, Frutene, Helional, Sandalore,Helvetolide, Iso E Super, Ethyl Vanillin, Karanal, Amyl Salicylate, andBenzoin. It is to be appreciated that various other base note perfumeraw materials may be used in the fragrance accord of the presentdisclosure.

The fragrance accords of the present disclosure may be “neat”.

The fragrance accords of the present disclosure may include variousperfume raw materials having various characters, including light, fresh,fruity, citrus, green, floral, watery, powdery, gourmand, woody,oriental, herbal, marine, ozonic, amber, musk, aldehydic, aromatic,spice, balsamic, sweet, and the like.

Lotion Formula

Absorbent articles of the present disclosure may include a functionallotion composition. The functional lotion composition may includevarious fragrance accords of the present disclosure and a lotionformula. The functional lotion composition may be characterized by peakviscosity and average peak dynamic frictional force. More specifically,the functional lotion composition may have a peak viscosity as measuredaccording to the Peak Complex Viscosity Test Method and an average peakdynamic frictional force as measured according to the Multi-CycleDynamic Friction Force Method. Generally, the lotion formula of thefunctional lotion composition is what most greatly affects the peakviscosity and the average peak dynamic frictional force.

A functional lotion composition having a relatively high peak viscosityand a relatively low average peak dynamic frictional force may beperceived as being lubricous and/or creamy-feeling. A functional lotioncomposition having a relatively low peak viscosity and a relatively highaverage peak dynamic frictional force may be perceived as being wateryand/or lightweight.

In some exemplary configurations, in order to meet the needs of heavyexperience seeking consumers, who want an absorbent article having acreamy, lubricious feel, an absorbent article may comprise a functionallotion composition having a relatively higher peak viscosity and arelatively lower average peak dynamic frictional force. For example, anabsorbent article may include a lotion composition comprising a peakviscosity greater than about 65 mPa·s and/or from about 75 mPa·s toabout 200,000 mPa·s and/or from about 80 mPa·s to about 100,500 mPa·sand/or from about 100 mPa·s to about 100,250 mPa·s, including all 0.1increments therebetween. The absorbent article may also impart anaverage peak dynamic frictional force from about 2.5 g to about 27.5 gand/or about 5 g to about 25 g and/or about 10 g to about 22.5 g,including all 0.1 increments therebetween. Without wishing to be boundby theory, it is believed that a lotion composition having a peakviscosity greater than about 75 mPa·s and an average peak dynamicfrictional force less than about 27.5 g may provide heavy experienceseeking consumers with enough tactile interaction during use of theabsorbent article to be identifiable by the consumer, and whileproviding a residue that may be left on the skin or may be perceived tobe left on the skin after use of the absorbent article.

In another exemplary configuration, in order to meet the needs of lightexperience seeking consumers, who want an absorbent article having awatery and lightweight feel, an absorbent article may comprise a lotioncomposition having a relatively lower peak viscosity and a relativelyhigher average peak dynamic frictional force. For example, an absorbentarticle may include a lotion composition having a peak viscosity from 5mPa·s to about 65 mPa·s and/or from about 5 mPa·s to about 60 mPa·sand/or from about 15 mPa·s to about 55 mPa·s and/or from about 20 mPa·sto about 50 mPa·s, including all 0.1 increments therebetween, and anaverage peak dynamic frictional force from about 22 g to about 60 gand/or from about 25.5 g to about 55 g and/or from about 27.5 g to about52.5 g, including all 0.1 increments therebetween. Without wishing to bebound by theory, it is believed that a lotion composition having a peakviscosity less than about 65 mPa·s and an average peak dynamicfrictional force greater than about 25 g may provide light experienceseeking consumers with enough tactile interaction during use of theabsorbent article to be noticeable by the consumer, and while leavingrelatively small amounts of residue to no perceived residue on the skinafter use of the absorbent article.

FIG. 5 illustrates examples of various lotion compositions having a peakviscosity of greater than 65 mPa·s and an average peak dynamicfrictional force of less than 25 g, which may appeal to heavy experienceseeking consumers, and a peak viscosity of less than 60 mPa·s and anaverage peak dynamic frictional force of greater than 25 g, which mayappeal to light experience seeking consumers. The data points labeled asExample 4, Example 9, and Example 7 are described below.

In order to provide an absorbent article, such as a wipe, that meets theneeds of both a heavy experience seeking consumer and a light experienceseeking consumer, an array of absorbent articles may be offered forsale. The array of absorbent articles may include a first absorbentarticle having a first functional lotion composition, which appeals tolight experience seeking consumers. The first functional lotioncomposition may have a peak viscosity from about 5 mPa·s to about 65mPa·s and an average peak dynamic frictional force from about 25 g toabout 60 g. The array may comprise a second absorbent article having asecond functional lotion composition, which appeals to heavy experienceseeking consumers. The second functional lotion composition may have apeak viscosity greater than about 75 mPa·s and an average peak dynamicfrictional force from about 2.5 g to about 25 g. Generally, the firstfunctional lotion composition may have a peak viscosity that is lessthan the peak viscosity of the second functional lotion composition. Thefirst function lotion composition may also have an average peak dynamicfrictional force that is greater than the average peak dynamicfrictional force of the second functional lotion composition.

As previously stated, the functional lotion composition may includevarious fragrance accords of the present disclosure and a lotionformula. More specifically, the first functional lotion composition mayinclude a first fragrance accord and a first lotion formula and thesecond functional lotion composition may include a second fragranceaccord and a second lotion formula. The first lotion composition maydiffer from the second lotion composition in that the first lotionformula is different from the second lotion formula.

Exemplary functional lotion compositions having a peak viscosity of lessthan about 65 mPa·s and an average peak dynamic frictional force greaterthan 25 g of the present disclosure include, for example, lotionformulas as included in Examples 4, 5, and 6, below. It is to beappreciated that various other functional lotion compositions may beused to obtain the peak viscosity of the present disclosure.

Exemplary functional lotion compositions having a peak viscosity ofgreater than about 75 mPa·s and an average peak dynamic frictional forceless than 27.5 g of the present disclosure include, for example, lotionformulas as included in Examples 7 through 11, below. It is to beappreciated that various other functional lotion compositions may beused to obtain the peak viscosity of the present disclosure.

The functional lotion composition may be aqueous or emulsion-based. ThepH of the composition may be from about pH 3, 4, or 5 to about pH 7,7.5, or 8. In some exemplary configurations, the pH may be from about3.5 to about 4.1.

Glucomannan

In some exemplary configurations, the lotion formula may comprise aglucomannan. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that acleansing composition comprising a glucomannan improves the cleaningperformance of a wet wipe. Without wishing to be bound by theory, usinga cleansing composition comprising a glucomannan in a wet wipe mayincrease the adhesive interaction between the soil and the wet wipeabove the adhesive interaction between the soil and the surface, therebyallowing the soil to detach from the surface upon wiping. The lotionformula may comprise from about 0.01%, by total weight, to about 0.50%,by total weight, of a glucomannan. The lotion formula may include aglucomannan and one or more synergy enhancing agents. Non-limitingexamples of synergy enhancing agents include xanthan gum, carrageenan,alginate, locust bean gum, starch, and gellan gum.

The lotion formula may comprise from about 0.1%, by total weight, toabout 0.5%, by total weight, or from about 0.12%, by total weight, toabout 0.18%, by total weight, of one or more synergy enhancing agents.The ratio of glucomannan to synergy enhancing agent present in thelotion formula may be from about 1:1.5 to about 1:10. Exemplarycompositions comprising glucomannan and a synergy enhancing agent aredescribed in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/758,802.

An exemplary wet wipe may include a lotion formula comprisingglucomannan and xanthan gum. Another exemplary wet wipe may include alotion formula comprising glucomannan, carrageenan, and xanthan gum. Ina lotion formula comprising glucomannan, carrageenan, and xanthan gum,the ratio of xanthan gum to glucomannan to carrageenan may be from about1:0.02:0.03 to about 1:0.33:0.5.

The peak complex viscosity of a lotion formula comprising a glucomannanand a synergy enhancing agent for use in a wet wipe may be greater thanabout 0.8 Pascal·seconds (hereinafter “Pa·s”), greater than 2.5 Pa·s, orgreater than about 3.0 Pa·s. The peak complex viscosity of a lotionformula for use in a wet wipe may be in the range of about 1.0 Pa·s toabout 5.0 Pa·s.

In addition, the lotion formula may include various optionalingredients, such as surfactants, emollients, film-formers,preservatives, pH buffers, rheology modifiers, and various other adjunctingredients, such as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,666,827; 7,005,557;8,221,774; and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2011/0268777. Itis to be noted that some ingredient compounds can have a multiplefunction and that all compounds are not necessarily present in thelotion formula.

Emollient

The lotion formula may include an emollient. Emollients may (1) hydratethe residues (for example, fecal residues or dried urine residues ormenses), thus enhancing their removal from the skin, (2) hydrate theskin, thus reducing its dryness and irritation while improving itsflexibility under the wiping movement, (3) reduce the adhesiveinteraction between the soil and the surface, and (4) protect the skinfrom later irritation (for example, caused by the friction of anabsorbent article) as the emollient is deposited onto the skin andremains at its surface as a protective layer.

An emollient may include silicone oils, functionalized silicone oils,hydrocarbon oils, fatty alcohols, fatty alcohol ethers, fatty acids,esters of monobasic and/or dibasic and/or tribasic and/or polybasiccarboxylic acids with mono and polyhydric alcohols, polyoxyethylenes,polyoxypropylenes, mixtures of polyoxyethylene and polyoxypropyleneethers of fatty alcohols, and mixtures thereof. The emollients may beeither saturated or unsaturated, have an aliphatic character and bestraight or branched chained or contain alicyclic or aromatic rings.

In some exemplary configurations, the lotion formula may comprise amixture of caprylic/capric triglycerides in combination withBis-PEG/PPG-16/16 PEG/PPG-16/16 dimethicone known as ABIL® CARE 85,available from Degussa Care Specialties of Hopewell, Va.

For example, the lotion formula may comprise an omega-6 fattyacid. The lotion formula may comprise at least about 0.003%, from about0.003% to about 35%, from about 0.015% to about 25%, or from about 0.06%to about 20%, by total weight, of the lotion and/or coating composition,of omega-6 fatty acid. Exemplary lotion compositions comprising omega-6fatty acids are described in U.S. Patent Publication No. 2011/0159074A1.

The omega-6 fatty acid may be added to the lotion formula as an oilmaterial, such as from a vegetable oil. Therefore, in one exemplaryconfiguration, the lotion formula comprises an oil material comprisingomega-6 fatty acid. The lotion formula may comprise from about 0.1% toabout 70%, from about 0.5% to about 50%, or from about 2% to about 40%,by total weight, of the lotion and/or coating composition, of the oilmaterial.

Rheology Modifier

The lotion formula may comprise one or more rheology modifiers. Arheology modifier may (1) help to stabilize the lotion composition on asubstrate, (2) enhance the transfer of the lotion composition to theskin, and (3) enhance the uniformity of the layer of the lotioncomposition on the skin. For example, rheology modifiers may help topreserve a homogeneous distribution of the lotion composition within astack of the substrates. Any composition that is in fluid form may havea tendency to migrate to the lower part of the wipes stack duringprolonged storage. This effect may create an upper part of the stack ofsubstrates having less lotion composition than the bottom part of thestack.

Non-limiting examples of rheology modifiers include, but are not limitedto, rheology modifiers comprising: polysaccharide units, e.g.,cellulose, xanthan gum, diutan gum, carrageenan, gellan gum, welan gum,pectin, sclerotium gum, starch, galactoarabinan, alginate, andmodified-forms thereof; homopolymers of acrylic acid; acrylic acidcross-linked with a polyfunctional compound, e.g., carbomer and acrylatecrosspolymer; copolymers of acrylic acid, acrylate esters, maleic acidand the like, generally known as the alkali swellable emulsions (ASE)group; hydrophobically-modified copolymers of acrylic acid, acrylateesters, maleic acid and the like, generally known as thehydrophobically-modified alkali swellable emulsions (HASE) group;polyethylene glycol units of varying length connected by urethanelinkages and terminated with hydrophobic end groups, generally known asthe hydrophobically-modified ethoxylated urethane resins (HEUR) group;organoclays; silicas; and combinations thereof.

Rheology modifiers, when present in the functional lotion composition,may be present in the range of about 0.01%, 0.015%, or 0.02%, by totalweight, to about 2%, by total weight, of the functional lotioncomposition.

Preservative

Controlling microbiological growth may be beneficial in water basedproducts such as functional lotion compositions intended for use in wetwipes. The functional lotion composition may comprise a preservative ora combination of preservatives acting together as a preservative system.Preservatives and preservative systems are used interchangeably in thepresent disclosure to indicate one unique or a combination ofpreservative compounds. A preservative may be understood to be achemical or natural compound or a combination of compounds reducing thegrowth of microorganisms, thus enabling a longer shelf life for apackage of substrates (opened or not opened) as well as creating anenvironment with reduced growth of microorganisms when transferred tothe skin during the wiping process.

The spectrum of activity of the preservative may include bacteria, moldsand yeast. Each of such microorganisms may be killed by thepreservative. Another mode of action to be contemplated may be thereduction of the growth rate of the microorganisms without activekilling. Both actions however result in a drastic reduction of thepopulation of microorganisms.

Materials useful as preservatives include sorbitan caprylate, methylolcompounds, iodopropynyl compounds, simple aromatic alcohols, parabencompounds, benzyl alcohol, benzoic acid, benzoates, sorbic acid,sorbates, phenoxyethanol, ethxylhexyglycerin, chelators such asethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, and combinations thereof. Suitablepreservative systems are described in U.S. Patent Publication Nos.2015/0017218; 2005/0008680; and 2005/0008681; and U.S. Application No.62/057,297 filed Sep. 30, 2014.

Low pH buffering systems, such as a citrate-citric acid buffering systemat a pH of less than about 5, may also be employed as part of thepreservative system.

In some exemplary configurations, the preservative system may comprisesimple aromatic alcohols (e.g., benzyl alcohol). Materials of this typemay have effective antibacterial activity. Benzyl alcohol is availablefrom Symrise, Inc. of Teterboro, N.J. In other exemplary configurations,the preservative system may comprise a mixture of benzyl alcohol, sodiumbenzoate, phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, citric acid, and sodium citrate dehydrate wherein thepH of the lotion composition is less than about 4. The totalconcentration of benzyl alcohol may be lower than about 0.4%, by totalweight, of the functional lotion composition. The total concentration ofsodium benzoate may be lower than about 0.3%, by total weight, of thefunctional lotion composition. The combination of phenoxyethanol andethylhexylglycerin, which are available as EUXYL® PE 9010 from Schulke &Mayr GmbH of Germany, may be lower than about 0.4%.

In some exemplary configurations, acidic compounds used in sufficientamount to reduce the pH of the functional lotion composition (e.g., pHof less than about 5) may be useful as the preservative, or as apotentiator for other preservative ingredients.

In other exemplary configurations, chelators, such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and its salts, may also be used in preservative systemsas a potentiator for other preservative ingredients.

Adjunct Ingredients

The lotion formula may optionally include other adjunct ingredients.Possible adjunct ingredients may be selected from a wide range ofadditional ingredients such as texturizers, colorants, soothing agentsand medically active ingredients, such as healing actives and skinprotectants.

Wipe

Various fragrance accords and lotion formulas of the present disclosuremay be incorporated into an absorbent article such as a wipe. “Wipe” maybe a general term to describe a piece of material, generally a non-wovenmaterial, used in cleansing hard surfaces, food, inanimate objects,toys, and body parts. In particular, many currently available wipes maybe intended for the cleansing of the perianal area after defecation.Other wipes may be available for the cleansing of the face or other bodyparts. Multiple wipes may be attached together by any suitable method toform a mitt.

The wipe may comprise a substrate. The material from which a wipe ismade should be strong enough to resist tearing during normal use, yetstill provide softness to the user's skin, such as a child's tenderskin. Additionally, the material should be at least capable of retainingits form for the duration of the user's cleansing experience.

Wipes may be generally of sufficient dimension to allow for convenienthandling. Typically, the wipe may be cut and/or folded to suchdimensions as part of the manufacturing process. In some instances, thewipe may be cut into individual portions so as to provide separate wipeswhich are often stacked and interleaved in consumer packaging. In otherexemplary configurations, the wipes may be in a web form where the webhas been slit and folded to a predetermined width and provided withmeans (e.g., perforations) to allow individual wipes to be separatedfrom the web by a user. Suitably, an individual wipe may have a lengthbetween about 100 mm and about 250 mm and a width between about 140 mmand about 250 mm. In one exemplary configuration, the wipe may be about200 mm long and about 180 mm wide and/or about 180 mm long and about 180mm wide and/or about 170 mm long and about 180 mm wide and/or about 160mm long and about 175 mm wide. The material of the wipe may generally besoft and flexible, potentially having a structured surface to enhanceits cleaning performance.

It is also within the scope of the present disclosure that the wipe maybe a laminate of two or more materials. Commercially availablelaminates, or purposely built laminates would be within the scope of thepresent disclosure. The laminated materials may be joined or bondedtogether in any suitable fashion, such as, but not limited to,ultrasonic bonding, adhesive, glue, fusion bonding, heat bonding,thermal bonding and combinations thereof. In another alternativeexemplary configuration of the present disclosure the wipe may be alaminate comprising one or more layers of nonwoven materials and one ormore layers of film. Examples of such optional films, include, but arenot limited to, polyolefin films, such as, polyethylene film. Anillustrative, but non-limiting example of a nonwoven material is alaminate of a 16 gsm nonwoven polypropylene and a 0.8 mm 20 gsmpolyethylene film.

The wipes may also be treated to improve the softness and texturethereof by processes such as hydroentanglement or spunlacing. The wipesmay be subjected to various treatments, such as, but not limited to,physical treatment, such as ring rolling, as described in U.S. Pat. No.5,143,679; structural elongation, as described in U.S. Pat. No.5,518,801; consolidation, as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,914,084,6,114,263, 6,129,801 and 6,383,431; stretch aperturing, as described inU.S. Pat. Nos. 5,628,097, 5,658,639 and 5,916,661; differentialelongation, as described in WO Publication No. 2003/0028165 A1; andother solid state formation technologies as described in U.S.Publication No. 2004/0131820 A1 and U.S. Publication No. 2004/0265534A1, and zone activation and the like; chemical treatment, such as, butnot limited to, rendering part or all of the fibrous structurehydrophobic, and/or hydrophilic, and the like; thermal treatment, suchas, but not limited to, softening of fibers by heating, thermal bondingand the like; and combinations thereof.

The wipe may have a basis weight of at least about 30 grams/m² and/or atleast about 35 grams/m² and/or at least about 40 grams/m². In oneexample, the wipe may have a basis weight of at least about 45 grams/m².In another example, the wipe basis weight may be less than about 100grams/m². In another example, wipes may have a basis weight betweenabout 45 grams/m² and about 75 grams/m², and in yet another exemplaryconfiguration a basis weight between about 45 grams/m² and about 65grams/m².

The fibrous structures or wipes of the present disclosure may besaturation loaded with a liquid composition to form a wet wipe. Theloading may occur individually, or after the wipes are placed in astack, such as within a liquid impervious container or packet. In oneexample, the wet wipes may be saturation loaded with from about 1.5 g toabout 6.0 g and/or from about 2.5 g to about 4.0 g of liquid compositionper g of wipe. The liquid composition may exhibit a surface tension offrom about 20 to about 35 and/or from about 28 to about 32 dynes/cm.

A plurality of the wet wipes may be stacked one on top of the other andmay be contained in a container, such as a plastic tub or a filmwrapper. The wipes may be folded and stacked. The wipes of the presentdisclosure may be folded in any of various known folding patterns, suchas C-folding, Z-folding and quarter-folding. Use of a Z-fold pattern mayenable a folded stack of wipes to be interleaved with overlappingportions. In one example, the stack of wet wipes (typically about 40 to80 wipes/stack) may exhibit a height of from about 50 to about 300 mmand/or from about 75 to about 125 mm. The wet wipes may be stored longterm in a stack in a liquid impervious container or film pouch withoutall of the lotion draining from the top of the stack to the bottom ofthe stack. The stack of wet wipes exhibits a saturation gradient indexof from about 1.0 to about 2.0 and/or from about 1.0 to about 1.7 and/orfrom about 1.0 to about 1.5.

Alternatively, the wipes may include a continuous strip of materialwhich has perforations between each wipe and which may be arranged in astack or wound into a roll for dispensing, one after the other, from acontainer, which may be liquid impervious.

Substrate

“Substrate” refers herein to a material which is primarilytwo-dimensional (i.e., in an XY plane) and whose thickness (in a Zdirection) is relatively small (i.e., 1/10 or less) in comparison to thesubstrate's length (in an X direction) and width (in a Y direction).Non-limiting examples of substrates include a web, layer or layers orfibrous materials, nonwovens, films and foils such as polymeric films ormetallic foils. These materials may be used alone or may comprise two ormore layers joined together. As such, a web is a substrate. Thesubstrate may take the form of a wipe.

“Nonwoven” refers herein to a fibrous structure made from an assembly ofcontinuous fibers, coextruded fibers, non-continuous fibers andcombinations thereof, without weaving or knitting, by processes such asspunbonding, carding, meltblowing, airlaying, wetlaying, coforming, orother such processes known in the art for such purposes. As defined byEDANA, “nonwoven” means a sheet of fibers, continuous filaments, orchopped yarns of any nature or origin that have been formed into a webby any means, and bonded together by any means, with the exception ofweaving or knitting. Felts obtained by wet milling are not nonwovens.Wetlaid webs are nonwovens provided that they contain a minimum of 50%by weight of man-made fibers, filaments or other fibers of non-vegetableorigin with a length to diameter ratio that equals or exceeds 300 or aminimum of 30% by weight of man-made fibers, filaments or other fibersof non-vegetable origin with a length to diameter ratio that equals orexceeds 600 and a maximum apparent density of 0.40 g/cm³.

“Fiber” and/or “Filament” as used herein means an elongate particulatehaving an apparent length greatly exceeding its apparent width, i.e., alength to diameter ratio of at least about 10. For purposes of thepresent invention, a “fiber” is an elongate particulate as describedabove that exhibits a length of less than 5.08 cm (2 in.) and a“filament” is an elongate particulate as described above that exhibits alength of greater than or equal to 5.08 cm (2 in.).

Non-limiting examples of processes for making a substrate include knownwet-laid papermaking processes, air-laid papermaking processes includingcarded and/or spunlaced processes. Such processes typically includesteps of preparing a fiber composition in the form of a suspension in amedium, either wet, more specifically aqueous medium, or dry, morespecifically gaseous, i.e., with air as medium. The aqueous medium usedfor wet-laid processes is oftentimes referred to as a fiber slurry. Thefibrous slurry is then used to deposit a plurality of fibers onto aforming wire or belt such that an embryonic fibrous structure is formed,after which drying and/or bonding the fibers together results in afibrous structure. Further processing the fibrous structure may becarried out such that a substrate is formed.

The substrate may be a nonwoven material. The substrate may behomogeneous or may be layered. If layered, the substrate may comprise atleast two and/or at least three and/or at least four and/or at leastfive layers. The nonwoven material may comprise one or more layers ofsuch fibrous assemblies, wherein each layer may include continuousfibers, coextruded fibers, non-continuous fibers and combinationsthereof.

Bicomponent fibers can be used as a componentfiber of the structure, and/or they may be present to act as a binderfor the other fibers present in the fibrous structure. Any or all of thesynthetic fibers may be treated before, during, or after manufacture tochange any desired properties of the fibers. The substrate may comprisehydrophilic fibers, hydrophobic fibers, or a combination thereof.

The substrate may comprise various percentages of natural and/orsynthetic fibers. For example, in some exemplary configurations, thesubstrate may comprise 100% synthetic fibers. In another exemplaryconfiguration, the substrate may comprise natural and synthetic fibers.For example, the substrate may comprise from about 0% to about 90%natural fibers, with the balance comprising synthetic fibers. Thesubstrate may be comprised of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, or 80%natural fibers.

The substrate may comprise a plurality of filaments, a plurality ofsolid additives, such as fibers, and a mixture of filaments and solidadditives.

In certain configurations, it may be desirable to have particularcombinations of fibers to provide desired characteristics. For example,it may be desirable to have fibers of certain lengths, widths,coarseness or other characteristics combined in certain layers, orseparate from each other. The fibers may be of virtually any size andmay have an average length from about 1 mm to about 60 mm. Average fiberlength refers to the length of the individual fibers if straightenedout. The fibers may have an average fiber width of greater than about 5micrometers. The fibers may have an average fiber width of from about 5micrometers to about 50 micrometers. The fibers may have a coarseness ofgreater than about 5 mg/100 m. The fibers may have a coarseness of fromabout 5 mg/100 m to about 75 mg/100 m.

The wood pulpfibers 14 may be non-randomly dispersed throughout the fibrous structurein the z-direction. In one example (not shown), the wood pulp fibers 14are present at a higher concentration on one or more of the exterior,x-y plane surfaces than within the fibrous structure along thez-direction.

FIG. 3 shows another exemplary configuration of a layered substrate 10a. The layered substrate 10 a comprises a first layer 16 comprising aplurality of filaments 12, such as polypropylene filaments, and aplurality of solid additives, in this example, wood pulp fibers 14. Thelayered substrate 10 a further comprises a second layer 18 comprising aplurality of filaments 20, such as polypropylene filaments. In oneexample, the first and second layers 16, 18, respectively, are sharplydefined zones of concentration of the filaments and/or solid additives.The plurality of filaments 20 may be deposited directly onto a surfaceof the first layer 16 to form a layered substrate 10 a that comprisesthe first and second layers 16, 18, respectively.

Further, the layered substrate 10 a may comprise a third layer 22, asshown in FIG. 3. The third layer 22 may comprise a plurality offilaments 24, which may be the same or different from the filaments 20and/or 16 in the second 18 and/or first 16 layers. As a result of theaddition of the third layer 22, the first layer 16 is positioned, forexample sandwiched, between the second layer 18 and the third layer 22.The plurality of filaments 24 may be deposited directly onto a surfaceof the first layer 16, opposite from the second layer 18, to form thelayered substrate 10 a that comprises the first, second and third layers16, 18, 22, respectively.

FIG. 4 shows another exemplary substrate in the form of a layeredsubstrate 10 b. The layered substrate 10 b comprises a first layer 26, asecond layer 28 and optionally a third layer 30. The first layer 26comprises a plurality of filaments 12, such as polypropylene filaments,and a plurality of solid additives, such as wood pulp fibers 14. Thesecond layer 28 may comprise any suitable filaments, solid additivesand/or polymeric films. In one example, the second layer 28 comprises aplurality of filaments 34. In one example, the filaments 34 comprise apolymer selected from the group consisting of: polysaccharides,polysaccharide derivatives, polyvinylalcohol, polyvinylalcoholderivatives and mixtures thereof.

In other exemplary configurations, a substrate may comprise two outerlayers consisting of 100%, by total weight, filaments and an inner layerconsisting of 100%, by total weight, fibers.

The substrate may comprise any suitable amount of filaments and anysuitable amount of solid additives. For example, the substrate maycomprise from about 10% to about 70% and/or from about 20% to about 60%and/or from about 30% to about 50% by dry weight of the substrate offilaments and from about 90% to about 30% and/or from about 80% to about40% and/or from about 70% to about 50% by dry weight of the substrate ofsolid additives, such as wood pulp fibers. In one example, the substratecomprises filaments.

The filaments and solid additives may be present in substrate accordingto the present invention at weight ratios of filaments to solidadditives of from at least about 1:1 and/or at least about 1:1.5 and/orat least about 1:2 and/or at least about 1:2.5 and/or at least about 1:3and/or at least about 1:4 and/or at least about 1:5 and/or at leastabout 1:7 and/or at least about 1:10.

Likewise, the fibers can beconjugate fibers such as bicomponent fibers. The fibers may be crimpedand may have a finish, such as a lubricant, applied.

The substrate materials may also be treated to improve the softness andtexture thereof. The substrate may be subjected to various treatments,such as physical treatment, hydro-molding, hydro-embossing, and ringrolling, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,143,679; structural elongation,as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,518,801; consolidation, as described inU.S. Pat. Nos. 5,914,084; 6,114,263; 6,129,801 and 6,383,431; stretchaperturing, as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,628,097; 5,658,639; and5,916,661; differential elongation, as described in U.S. Pat.

Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that a texturedsubstrate may further enable the ease of removal of soils by improvingthe ability to grip or otherwise lift the soils from the surface duringcleansing. Any one of a number of texture elements may be useful inimproving the ability to grip or otherwise lift the soil from thesurface during cleansing such as continuous hydro-molded elements,hollow molded element, solid molded elements, circles, squares,rectangles, ovals, ellipses, irregular circles, swirls, curly cues,cross hatches, pebbles, lined circles, linked irregular circles, halfcircles, wavy lines, bubble lines, puzzles, leaves, outlined leaves,plates, connected circles, changing curves, dots, honeycombs, and thelike, and combinations thereof. The texture elements may be hollowelements. The texture elements may be connected to each other. Thetexture elements may overlap each other.

The substrate may have a basis weight between about 15, 30, 40, or 45grams/m² and about 65, 75, 85, 95, or 100 grams/m². A suitable substratemay be a carded nonwoven comprising a 40/60 blend of viscose fibers andpolypropylene fibers having a basis weight of 58 grams/m² as availablefrom Suominen of Tampere, Finland as FIBRELLA 3160. FIBRELLA 3160 is a58 grams/m² nonwoven web comprising 60%, by total weight, of 1.5 denierpolypropylene fibers and 40%, by total weight, of 1.5 denier viscosefibers. Another suitable material may be FIBRELLA 3100 which is a 62grams/m² nonwoven web comprising 50%, by total weight, of 1.5 denierpolypropylene fibers and 50%, by total weight, of 1.5 denier viscosefibers. In both of these commercially available fibrous webs, theaverage fiber length is about 38 mm. Another suitable material for useas a substrate may be SAWATEX 2642 as available from Sandler AG ofSchwarzenbach/Salle, Germany. Yet another suitable material for use as asubstrate may have a basis weight of from about 50 grams/m² to about 60grams/m² and have a 20/80 blend of viscose fibers and polypropylenefibers. The substrate may also be a 60/40 blend of pulp and viscosefibers. Exemplary nonwoven substrates are described in U.S. PatentPublication 2012/066852 and U.S. Patent Publication 2011/244199.

In some configurations, the surface of the substrate may be essentiallyflat. In other configurations, the surface of the substrate mayoptionally contain raised and/or lowered portions. The raised and/orlowered portions can be in the form of logos, indicia, trademarks,geometric patterns, and/or images of the surfaces that the substrate isintended to clean (i.e., infant's body, face, etc.). The raised and/orlowered portions may be randomly arranged on the surface of thesubstrate or be in a repetitive pattern of some form.

The substrate may be biodegradable. For example, the substrate could bemade from a biodegradable material such as a polyesteramide, or high wetstrength cellulose. In some exemplary configurations, the substrate maybe dispersible.

The substrate may further comprise prints, which may provide aestheticappeal. Non-limiting examples of prints include figures, patterns,letters, pictures and combinations thereof.

Kovats Index Method

Kovats Index is determined by gas chromatography. An AgilentTechnologies 6890 gas chromatogram equipped with a DB-5 column and aFlame Ionization Detector (FID), or equivalent instrument with FID, isused. A suitable column is 30 m×0.25 mm i.d., with a 0.25 um film. Thecarrier gas is helium. Gas flow rate, injection temperature and columntemperature are adjusted to achieve good separation of peaks. Forexample; helium flow rate from 1 to 3 mL/min; inlet temperature 280° C.;column temperature start at 40° C., ramp to 90° C. at 25° C./min, thenramp to 170° C. at 15° C./min, then hold at 170° C. for 2 min. Differentconditions may be required depending on the nature of the column andanalytes.

A linear alkane hydrocarbon standard mix (C8-C22) available from AldrichCo., AccuStandard Co., or equivalent is injected and the retention timefor each component is noted. The test sample (appropriately diluted in asuitable solvent) is injected under the same conditions, and theretention time for each component is noted as well as the area undereach peak. The retention time for each peak in the test sample will liebetween the retention times of two alkanes in the standard mix.

Kovats Index I is calculated for each component in the test sample usingthe equation:

$I = {100 \times \left\lbrack {n + {\left( {N - n} \right)\frac{{\log\left( t_{r{({unknown})}}^{\prime} \right)} - {\log\left( t_{r{(n)}}^{\prime} \right)}}{{\log\left( t_{r{(N)}}^{\prime} \right)} - {\log\left( t_{r{(n)}}^{\prime} \right)}}}} \right\rbrack}$

Where I is the Kovats Index, n is the number of carbon atoms in thesmaller alkane whose peak is adjacent to that of the test component, Nis the number of carbon atoms in the larger alkane whose peak isadjacent to that of the test component, t′_(r) is the retention time.

The FID Area Fraction (AF_(i)) is determined for each component in thetest sample as a fraction of the total integrated peak area for allcomponents in the test sample. The FID Area Fraction of each componentis taken as the mass fraction of that component in the test sample.

Peak Complex Viscosity Test Method

This method is suitable for determination of peak viscosity, alsoreferred to herein as peak complex viscosity, of a liquid composition. AHaake Rheostress 600 rotational rheometer available from Thermo FisherScientific of Waltham, Mass. or equivalent instrument is used. A 60 mmdiameter parallel plate fixture is used and the temperature of thespecimen is controlled to 25±1° C. during the viscosity measurement bymeans of a suitable circulating water bath.

The instrument is programmed to run in Amplitude Sweep mode at afrequency of 0.16 Hz starting at a shear stress Tau=0.05 Pa and endingat Tau=25.6 Pa with a maximum measurement time of 300 seconds. Theamplitude is increased in 10 steps on a linear scale using the followingTau values:

The instrument is calibrated for inertia and zero gap according to theprocedures specified by the instrument manufacturer. The plates areseparated and cleaned with a suitable solvent and allowed to dry. Asufficient quantity of the liquid composition is deposited onto thecenter of the base plate using a suitable pipette or equivalent toensure that the liquid composition will completely fill the gap when theplates are brought together. Typically this is approximately 2.5 ml ofthe lotion composition. The gap is then closed to 0.800 mm and thesample is trimmed by running a rubber policeman or equivalent around theperiphery of the plates to remove any excess liquid. The test is theninitiated and the relevant data (complex viscosity Eta* as a function ofshear stress Tau) are acquired.

The Peak Complex Viscosity is the highest recorded value for Eta*. Thisvalue can be obtained directly from the raw data.

Multi-Cycle Dynamic Friction Force Method

The Multi-Cycle Dynamic Friction Force test method is performed on aconstant rate of extension tensile tester with computer interface (MTSCriterion Model 42 using TestWorks™ 4.1 Software, as available from MTSSystems Corp., Eden Prairie, Minn. or equivalent). For these experimentsthe tensile tester is mounted on its back, so that its pull axis ishorizontal. This configuration requires a special load cell designed toresist the horizontal component from the downward force of any attachedfixture. A suitable load cell is a 10N load cell Model LSB-101 alsoavailable from MTS or equivalent. All testing is performed in a roommaintained at 23° C.±2 C° and 50%±2% relative humidity, and all samplesand materials are conditioned at 23° C.±2 C° and 50%±2% relativehumidity for 24 hours prior to testing.

Referring to FIG. 6, two custom fixtures are used: a foot assembly 1000attached to the movable arm and a platform 2000 attached to thestationary mount of the tensile tester. The foot assembly consists of ahorizontal brace 1001 that is 160 mm long by 13 mm wide by 30 mm highmade of Delrin material from which cutouts 1002 have been removed toreduce the overall weight of the brace. The brace has an integratedextension 1003 that is 20 mm long by 4 mm wide by 13 mm high from whichan aluminum, I-shaped beam 1004 is attached via a low-friction linearslide 1005 (www.mcmaster.com; Part No. 8381K39). The I-beam should beable to freely float vertically. An aluminum foot 1006 that is 20 mmlong by 15 mm wide by 5 mm high is attached to the bottom of the beam.The leading 1007 and distil 1008 edges of the foot are rounded to aradius of 2.5 mm. A weight 1009 is attached to the top of the beam toadjust the mass to deliver a pressure of 0.96 KPa by the foot. The footassembly is mounted to the force gauge with an appropriate connector1011.

The platform 2000 consists of an aluminum base plate 2001 that isapproximately 15 cm long by 10 mm wide and 20 mm thick. The base platehas a perpendicular riser 2002 that holds the base plate parallel to thefoot assembly with the bottom of the foot 1006 orthogonal to the baseplate's surface. The riser's height dimension is adjusted such thatduring use the foot 1006 rests on the base plate 2001 and the I-beam mayfreely move vertically on its linear slide. The platform 2000 isattached to the tensile tester via an instrument appropriate shaft 2003with a locking collar 2004 that maintains the fixture's alignment.

Program the tensile tester to move the crosshead away from thestationary fixture at 10 mm/sec for 60 mm and then immediately return 60mm at the same rate. This cycle is repeated 120 times. Force anddisplacement data is recorded for all cycles at 100 Hz.

Coffi™ collagen (available from Global Packaging Co., Inc. Carlstadt,N.J.) is used as the test substrate for use on both the foot and baseplate surfaces. A laminate is formed by adhering the smooth side of thecollagen to two-sided tape (available as Coated Tape 592 from IntertapePolymer Group, or equivalent). A rectangular piece of laminate 26 mm by20 mm is cut for use on the foot 1006 and a second rectangular piece oflaminate 26 mm by 102 mm is cut for use on the base plate 2001. Inspectlaminates to assure the collagen surface is wrinkle free. Laminates areprepared prior to testing and conditioned at 23° C.±2 C° and 50%±2%relative humidity for 24 hours prior to use.

Remove the protective backing from one of the 26 mm by 20 mm piece oflaminate and completely cover the bottom surface of the foot 1006wrapping excess laminate onto the sides of the foot. Remove theprotective backing from one of the 26 mm by 102 mm piece of laminate andadhere it, centered longitudinal and laterally, on the base plate 2001.

Move the crosshead of the tensile tester to place the distal edge of thefoot 1008 approximately 10 mm from the distal edge 2007 of the collagenlaminate. Zero the crosshead and load cell of the tensile tester. Use amicro pipette to deposit a 30 μL±2 μL drop of test lotion at the leadingedge 1007 of the sled. Immediately after depositing the lotion, startthe test. After each test the collagen laminate is removed from both thefoot and base plate and replaced prior to the next test.

From the resulting force verses displacement curves calculate the areaunder the curve for both the forward and return curves and report to thenearest gf/mm for each of the 120 cycles, as illustrated, for example,in FIGS. 7 and 8. Next, divide the area calculated for each cycle by thetotal distance traveled (i.e. both draw and return) and report as theAverage Frictional Force to the nearest 0.1 gf for each of the 120cycles. The maximum Average Frictional Force of all cycles can bedetermined from a histogram of average forces from all cycles. Themaximum Average Friction Force is referred to herein as the average peakdynamic frictional force.

Basis Weight Test Method

Basis weight is measured prior to the application of any end-use lotion,cleaning solution, or other liquid composition, etc. to the fibrousstructure or wipe, and follows a modified EDANA 40.3-90 (February 1996)method as described herein below.

-   -   1. Cut at least three test pieces of the fibrous structure or        wipe to specific known dimensions, preferably using a pre-cut        metal die and die press. Each test piece typically has an area        of at least 0.01 m².    -   2. Use a balance to determine the mass of each test piece in        grams; calculate basis weight (mass per unit area), in grams per        square meter (gsm), using equation (1).

$\begin{matrix}{{{Basis}\mspace{14mu}{Weight}} = \frac{{Mass}\mspace{11mu}{of}\mspace{14mu}{Test}\mspace{14mu}{{Piece}(g)}}{{Area}\mspace{11mu}{of}\mspace{14mu}{Test}\mspace{14mu}{{Piece}\left( m^{2} \right)}}} & (1)\end{matrix}$

-   -   3. For a fibrous structure or wipe sample, report the numerical        average basis weight for all test pieces.    -   4. If only a limited amount of the fibrous structure or wipe is        available, basis weight may be measured and reported as the        basis weight of one test piece, the largest rectangle possible.
